Hi, new to the forums

Greetings kathy, and a warm welcome.

Just in case you do not know (and because I like showing off my knowledge!), the reason is that the body reacts to pain by producing endorphins which are the natural pain killer. When done correctly the amount of endorphin released into the body can give a "trip" many times more powerful than hard drugs.

I did know that it was to do with the release of endorphins as I work in the medical field. The thing that did get me was the "trip" and I did experience that, way above what I have ever experienced before. The only problem that I see is that it is addictive.
